Agility
Dog agility is a sport in which the dog and owner work together to complete complicated obstacle courses, where they are scored for both time and accuracy. This course introduces the basics of agility training. This class is a great way to improve a dog's confidence, and it's the funnest class out there. You and your dog must have completed a beginning class in order to enroll in this class.
